Notes from the collector: Coded as the voyage is repeated several times during the summer. Note there is always the hamburger available. Also a profile of the two main players on the ship.

Notes from the collector: Must be thirty to forty years old.

Notes from the collector: I first went to Clyde’s over thirty years with my cousin’s son for breakfast. It was the only one then. Now is a well established chain of high quality food and run I believe by a hotelie. The last time we went to the “original’ in Georgetown with a couple of fraternity brothers there was a bomb scare on the street and we were evacuated. The fact one of them was the first US Ambassador to Albania wasn’t a consideration I guess?

Notes from the collector: One of Thomas Keller’s properties and just down the road from his landmark restaurant. Obviously not everyone can afford to eat at the later so he saw an opening for “reasonable” prices in Bouchon. Our only complaint was the fact the tables were on top of each other and getting up was a real challenge. The menu covered all the bases one would expect from such a professional. We went there say three or four years ago with an old friend.

Notes from the collector: A local property. Reasonable prices in a pleasant spot in a winery on the Mornington Peninsula. Most of the restaurants down here are way overpriced and attract the visitors and not the locals. Good idea on the wine - have half glass of each. For children - call them little people rather than children.

Notes from the collector: Although not a menu the brochure gives an indication of the style of food and the ambiance of the property. We stayed here by chance and when we checked out of our four-hundred-year-old room I noticed a brochure on the desk for the taking. It was our introduction to the Relais and Chateaux chain of great properties around the world. Stayed in the late seventies from memory.

Notes from the collector: Described previously.

Notes from the collector: In its day, probably the best restaurant in Chicago. No menu, but freshness was their secret. From memory, all seafood flown in daily from either coast.

Notes from the collector: Around the late fifties or early sixties. Everything on the men to please everyone. Coffee – 15 cents! Cocktails not priced - Why? Signed by the owner for friends of ours we met on the ship.

Notes from the collector: Probably early sixties when we lived there. Pretty ordinary to change some prices with a pen, but maybe they were being clever, as the prices went down, not up! Recommended by various guides, including Duncan Hines, who was the guru when I was young.
